Below is what I call The GPS Shelf. (GPS is the handy acronym for Giant Pumpkin Suite.) It’s in a closet in my office. This shelf holds the resources, notes, and many many drafts it took to write this novel. It is a deep shelf—as you can see, there’s another row of notebooks and binders behind the first—a good six feet of shelf space dedicated to this project. (And as many years.)
This is what it took to get my first novel out. It’s possible we’ll have to move to a home with larger closets if I continue as a novelist.…
What’s that red fabric on top? That’s the giant pumpkin moving tarp!
